Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]ppellants contend that the OTS should be required to make a preliminary determination of liability before, the court enforces a subpoena for personal financial information in order to protect their Fourth Amendment privacy interests. We reject, however, appellants’ argument that we should go beyond Walde and require the OTS to make a preliminary determination of liability before it enforces the subpoenas in order to protect their privacy interests in personal financial documents. The constitutional concerns that arise here, which are identical to those in Walde , are satisfied by the application of the “articulable suspicion” standard.... This heightened standard sufficiently protects an individual from unwarranted invasions into personal financial documents when the agency’s investigation is aimed at determining an individual’s wealth. We find no further requirement in the Constitution.”
